The Pacific Power PPSC Test Manager License is a software control platform that automates testing workflows for Pacific Power AC and DC source equipment. It enables creation, execution, and management of custom test sequences without requiring compilation, delivering immediate execution after configuration changes. The platform combines test automation, real-time metering, graphical transient preview, and custom reporting into a single integrated environment for compliance testing, device characterization, and production validation.
Technical Specifications
The software supports multiple test step types: Steady State Output, Transient Trigger, PPSC Control, User Prompt, User Input, Timer, VISA instrument control, and PPSC Metering. Metering functions include waveform capture and measurements for Voltage, Current, Frequency, Power, and Harmonics with user-defined phase selection and value limit thresholds. Test execution control offers Single Step, Run-To-Next, Run Selected, Stop, and Resume modes, with individual step disable capability for troubleshooting.
